   For poele using these or have experience with them. What are they like on the road? Much difference to a standard wishbone with uprated bushes n mount?
   
   Once i bought the bushes n rear mount it will cost almost as much as the Gp N wishbone, so want to take this one into concideration.
   
   What you saying poeple?

   mate they are insane amounts of money for what they are. you can buy bushes and get them fitted for half the price

   Which bushes and rear mount would that be?
   
   You can buy a PAIR of brand new wishbones for nearly half the price of ONE group N wishbone

   Well i was gonna get a standard wishbone £50 then spoox solid rear mounts or w/e for £45 then the powerflex bushes for £25/30, i dont mind paying the extra £30/40 for the pug sport Group N one on ebay from ABmotorsport:

   This Gp N one has a webbed wishbone, and the ball joint is better or something and the mounts and bushes are gp N rather than powerflex and Spoox.

   Heres my wishbone cost
   
   Poly race front bush £25
   Shenpar rear fossfor bronze bush £64
   New ball joint fitted £22
   
   scrappy pair of wishbones £30quid
   
   that is how i spent my money and i would possibly say its near the pinnacle of its handling before wide track or a diff.
   
   dan you wont feel the difference i assure you. get down the scrappy and buy new standard bushes! unless your setup is massive i feel it is unesessary waste of cash

   group n wishbones are pointless unless your bouncing the car off curbs on track
   ive seen standards take that kinda abuse but its only in proper hard hits you can bend it (mine are still straight after the off at mallory)
   they are stronger than standards but for what you use the car save your 40 quid and buy a lower brace (cant remember if you have one)

   Niceone mate, yeh i need a new wishbone as its bent so il probs get the cheaper set up. Was just after longevity, as the abll joint on the GP N is meant to last longer, and mines also broken, also they have the mounts and bushes already on, which i was gonna get lower standard versions of.
